SUMMARY:Ian Brennan in conversation with David Harrington
DESCRIPTION:discussing the subject of Ian Brennan’s new book \nSilenced by Sound: The Music Meritocracy Myth \npublished by PM Press \nPopular culture has woven itself into the social fabric of our lives\, penetrating people’s homes and haunting their psyches through images and earworm hooks. Justice\, at most levels\, is something the average citizen may have little influence upon\, leaving us feeling helpless and complacent. But pop music is a neglected arena where concrete change can occur—by exercising active and thoughtful choices to reject the low-hanging\, omnipresent corporate fruit\, we begin to rebalance the world\, one engaged listener at a time. \nSilenced by Sound: The Music Meritocracy Myth is a powerful exploration of the challenges facing art\, music\, and media in the digital era. With his fifth book\, producer\, activist\, and author Ian Brennan delves deep into his personal story to address the inequity of distribution in the arts globally. Brennan challenges music industry tycoons by skillfully demonstrating that there are millions of talented people around the world far more gifted than the superstars for whom billions of dollars are spent to promote the delusion that they have been blessed with unique genius. \nWe are invited to accompany the author on his travels\, finding and recording music from some of the world’s most marginalized peoples. In the breathtaking range of this book\, our preconceived notions of art are challenged by musicians from South Sudan to Kosovo\, as Brennan lucidly details his experiences recording music by the Tanzania Albinism Collective\, the Zomba Prison Project\, a “witch camp” in Ghana\, the Vietnamese war veterans of Hanoi Masters\, the Malawi Mouse Boys\, the Canary Island whistlers\, genocide survivors in both Cambodia and Rwanda\, and more. \nSilenced by Sound is defined by muscular\, terse\, and poetic verse\, and a nonlinear format rife with how-to tips and anecdotes. The narrative is driven and made corporeal via the author’s ongoing field-recording chronicles\, his memoir-like reveries\, and the striking photographs that accompany these projects. \nAfter reading it\, you’ll never hear quite the same again. \nIan Brennan is a Grammy-winning music producer who has produced three other Grammy-nominated albums. He is the author of four books and has worked with the likes of filmmaker John Waters\, Merle Haggard\, and Green Day\, among others. His work with international artists such as the Zomba Prison Project\, Tanzania Albinism Collective\, and Khmer Rouge Survivors\, has been featured on the front page of the New York Times and on an Emmy-winning 60 Minutes segment with Anderson Cooper reporting. Since 1993 he has taught violence prevention and conflict resolution around the world for such prestigious organizations as the Smithsonian\, New York’s New School\, Berklee College of Music\, the University of London\, the University of California–Berkeley\, and the Accademia Nazionale delle Scienze (Rome). \nDavid Harrington is the lead violinist and founder of the Kronos Quartet. For over 40 years he has collaborated with composers and musicians from every continent\, performed work nearly spanning the history of notated music\, and redefined the role of a contemporary string quartet. \nPraise:\n“An interesting and important project.”\n—Noam Chomsky \n“There is hope. Thanks to Ian Brennan for shining a light.”\n—Bill Frisell \n“Every page of Silenced by Sound is like listening to a fresh\, bracing\, previously unknown kind of music for the very first time.”\n—David Harrington\, Kronos Quartet \n“Brennan presents a hefty\, bracing tome . . .”\n—Booklist \n“. . . full of wisdom from someone who cares deeply about the power of real music.”\n—MOJO

SUMMARY:LAUNCH for Taneum Bambrick / Vantage and Graham Barnhart / The War Makes Everyone Lonely\, with Rita Chang-Eppig & Claire Meuschke
DESCRIPTION:BINDERY: LAUNCH for Taneum Bambrick / Vantage and Graham Barnhart / The War Makes Everyone Lonely\, with Rita Chang-Eppig & Claire Meuschke\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, October 3\, 2019 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\nBody:\n\n\nThe Bindery hosts a double launch for Taneum Bambrick (Vantage) and Graham Barnhart (The War Makes Everyone Lonely)\, each celebrating their debut full-length collection of poetry. Reading with them are fiction writer Rita Chang-Eppig and poet Claire Meuschke. Please join us! \n\nAbout Vantage \nVantage is a fictionalized account of the poet’s real experiences working as the only woman on a six-person garbage crew around the reservoirs of two massive dams. Bambrick began writing poems in order to document the forms of violence she witnessed towards the people and the environment of the Columbia River. While working there she found that reservoirs foster a uniquely complex community – from fish biologists to the owners of luxury summer homes – and became interested in the issues and tensions between the people of that place. The idea of power\, literal and metaphorical\, was present in every action and encounter with bosses and the people using the river. The presence of a young woman on the crew irritated her older\, male co-workers who’d logged\, built houses\, and had to suffer various forms of class discrimination their entire lives. She found throughout this experience that their issues\, while not the same\, were inherently connected to the suffering of the lands they worked. Introduction by Sharon Olds. \nTaneum Bambrick is the author of Vantage\, which was selected by Sharon Olds for the 2019 American Poetry Review/Honickman first book award (Copper Canyon Press). Her chapbook\, Reservoir\, was selected by Ocean Vuong for the 2017 Yemassee Chapbook Prize. She is a Wallace Stegner Fellow in Poetry. \n\nAbout The War Makes Everyone Lonely \nIn his first collection of poems\, many of which were written during his years as a US Army Special Forces medic\, Graham Barnhart explores themes of memory\, trauma\, and isolation. Ranging from conventional lyrics and narrative verse to prose poems and expressionist forms\, the poems here display a strange\, quiet power as Barnhart engages in the pursuit and recognition of wonder\, even while concerned with whether it is right to do so in the fraught space of the war zone. We follow the speaker as he treads the line between duty and the horrors of war\, honor and compassion for the victims of violence\, and the struggle to return to the daily life of family and society after years of trauma. \nEvoking the landscapes and surroundings of war\, as well as its effects on both US military service members and civilians in war-stricken countries\, The War Makes Everyone Lonely is a challenging\, nuanced look at the ways American violence is exported\, enacted\, and obscured by a writer poised to take his place in the long tradition of warrior-poets. \nA US Army veteran and former Wallace Stegner fellow\, Graham Barnhartis the author of The War Makes Everyone Lonely.  He is a recipient of a Pushcart Prize and The Blackwell Prize\, as well as fellowships from The Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference\, Sewanee Writer’s Conference\, and Writing Workshops in Greece. He holds an MFA in poetry from The Ohio State University and a BA in English from Allegheny College. His work has recently appeared in\, or is forthcoming from 32 Poems\, The Gettysburg Review\, Gulf Coast\, Pleiades\, and others. Currently he is a PhD candidate at The University of North Texas. \n\nRita Chang-Eppig received her MFA in fiction from New York University and her PhD in psychology from the University of Michigan. Her stories have appeared in McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern\, Calyx\, Kenyon Review Online\, and Conjunctions. She was recently a VSC/Rona Jaffe Foundation Fellow at the Vermont Studio Center. \nClaire Meuschke is from the Bay Area and has lived in New York City\, New Mexico\, and Arizona. Upend\, her debut book of poems\, is forthcoming March 2020 by Noemi Press. She is a Wallace Stegner Fellow. \n  \n\nPlease note: this event will be held at The Bindery\, 1727 Haight. \nThis is an all ages event. The bar opens at 7pm; event starts at 7:30pm. \nAs with all of our events\, seating may be limited; you can guarantee a seat by pre-purchasing the book below — when checking out\, just be sure to include a note that you’d like to attend the event. If you cannot attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of Vantage\, order below and put your request in the comments field.

SUMMARY:Max Tomlinson
DESCRIPTION:Max Tomlinson joins us to discuss his novel\, Vanishing in the Haight.\n \nAbout Vanishing in the Haight \nBetween fending off a lecherous parole officer and trying to get by in 1978 San Francisco\, private investigator Colleen Hayes struggles to put her life back together so she can reconnect with her runaway teenage daughter. Then her life changes dramatically. She accepts a case from wealthy\, retired industrialist Edward Copeland. The old man is desperate to solve the brutal murder of his daughter\, a murder that took place in Golden Gate Park eleven years earlier—during the Summer of Love. The case has since gone cold\, her murderer never found. Now\, in his final days\, Copeland hires Colleen to find his daughter’s killer in hopes he might die in peace. \nColleen understands what it means to take a life—she spent a decade in prison for killing her ex. Battling her own demons\, she immerses herself in San Francisco’s underbelly\, where police corruption is rampant. Her investigation turns deadly as she pries for information\, yet there is little to go on. However\, a song on the radio makes her wonder—did the murdered girl leave any clues that others may have missed? \nAbout the Author  \nBorn in San Francisco\, with its rich literary history and a public transport system teeming with characters suitable for crime novels\, the stage was set for Max Tomlinson to become a mystery writer. However\, his time abroad has also inspired a variety of flavors in his writing. His published work includes a crime series set in South America\, an international espionage series\, and now Vanishing in the Haight\, the first of the Colleen Hayes mystery series\, set in his hometown.

SUMMARY:In Common Writers Series: Fay Victor and Myra Melford\, in performance and conversation
DESCRIPTION:The Poetry Center’s In Common Writers Series\, supported by the Walter & Elise Haas Fund\, re-commences this Fall 2019 with a double-program featuring outstanding composer-improvisers Fay Victor\, visiting from her home in Brooklyn\, New York\, and Myra Melford\, with us from across the Bay\, in Berkeley. At 1:00 pm Thursday October 3\, they’ll present a workshop performance at The Poetry Center\, performing in duo then conversing with one another and the audience. At 7:30 pm we move to the Center for New Music in downtown San Francisco\, for a duo performance followed by an open conversation with the audience. Both events are free and open to the public; for the Center for New Music performance please reserve a free ticket with C4NM here. \n“She’s essentially invented her own hybrid of song and spoken word\, a scat style for today’s avant-garde.”\n—Giovanni Russonello\, The New York Times\, on Fay Victor \nBrooklyn\, NY based sound artist/composer Fay Victor hones a unique vision for the vocalist’s role in jazz and improvised music\, pushing the vocal envelope forward regarding repertoire\, improvisation\, and composition. Victor encompasses a distinctive vocalizing\, language\, and performing approach with the foundation of the jazz vocal idiom\, invoking an “everything is everything” aesthetic that brings in references that span the globe. Victor sees the vocal instrument in itself as full of possibilities of sound exploration\, the voice a direct and powerful conduit for language and messages in an improvising context. All of these ideas aim to push the vocal envelope to forge greater expressive possibilities. In Victor’s nine critically acclaimed albums as a leader one can hear the through line of expansive expression leading up to her most recent release\, Wet Robots (ESP Disk\, 2018) with her SoundNoiseFUNK project. \nVictor’s performed with luminaries such as Dr. Randy Weston\, Gary Bartz\, Misha Mengelberg\, Archie Shepp\, Nicole Mitchell\, Myra Melford\, Jamaaladeen Tacuma\, Billy Martin and Tyshawn Sorey. Performance highlights include The Museum of Modern Art (NYC)\, The Hammer Museum (LA)\, The Kolner Philharmonie (Germany)\, De Young Museum (SF)\, Symphony Space (NY)\, The Apollo Theatre (NY) the Bimhuis (Netherlands)\, Vision Festival (NYC)\, Earshot Jazz Festival (Seattle) & the Winter JazzFest (NY\, NY). Victor was the 2017 Herb Albert/Yaddo Fellow in Music Composition where she composed Faith\, The Gift — a 12 movement tribute to the life of her mother\, Faith E.S.Victor. In addition to Wet Robots\, Victor also appears on William Parker’s Voices Fall From the Sky (AUM Fidelity\, 2018)\, Nicole Mitchell’s Maroon Cloud (FPE Records\, 2018) recording and Marc Ribot’s Songs of Resistance 1942-2018 (ANTI-records\, 2018)\, the latter featuring Victor as well as guest vocalists Tom Waits\, Steve Earle and Meshell Ndegeocello amongst others. Victor is a music educator and vocal specialist of the highest order and currently on the faculty of the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. She continues to give clinics and workshops at home in New York City and around the world.

This is music with an endless capacity for elasticity and surprise\, along with an affirming spirit of coherence.” —NPR Best 50 Albums of 2018\, on Myra Melford’s Snowy Egret\, The Other Side of Air \nThe pianist\, composer\, bandleader and educator Myra Melford—whom The New Yorker called “a stalwart of the new-jazz movement”—has spent the last three decades making brilliant original music that is equally challenging and engaging. Culling inspiration from a wide range of sources including Cecil Taylor\, the blues and boogie-woogie of her native Chicago\, the poetry of Rumi\, the AACM\, and yoga\, she’s explored an array of formats\, among them ruminative solo-piano recitals\, deeply interactive combos and ambitious multidisciplinary programs. Melford’s most recent release\, The Other Side of Air (Firehouse 12)\, by her quintet Snowy Egret\, is an extraordinary document of her unique creative language—a seamless\, shifting blend of composition and improvisation\, and a probing of the space shared between dynamic small-group jazz and contemporary chamber music. Since debuting on record as a bandleader in 1990\, she’s built a discography of more than 20 albums as a leader or co-leader\, and has collaborated with such luminaries as Dave Douglas\, Marty Ehrlich\, Liberty Ellman\, Erik Friedlander\, Ben Goldberg\, Joseph Jarman\, Leroy Jenkins\, Ron Miles\, Nicole Mitchell\, Tyshawn Sorey\, Chris Speed\, Stomu Takeishi\, Cuong Vu\, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. \nMelford’s teachers and mentors include Butch Morris\, Henry Threadgill\, Jaki Byard\, Don Pullen and other icons of jazz postmodernism\, and she has received some of the most prestigious honors available to an improvising musician: numerous DownBeat poll placings\, a 2000 Fulbright scholarship\, a 2012 Alpert Award in the Arts for Music and\, in 2013\, a Guggenheim Fellowship\, the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award and the Doris Duke Residency to Build Demand for the Arts. \nAfter having been an influential presence in New York since the mid-’80s\, Melford relocated to the Bay Area in 2004\, to join the music department at the University of California\, Berkeley\, as a Professor of Composition and Improvisational Practices. She continues to bring cutting-edge jazz and new music to the campus community via her teaching and as a guest curator for the Cal Performances organization. More at myramelford.com
